What is Ugandan-contemporary art to you?

Everything is art hence everyone has an opinion of what it is and can be. 

And because there have been several movements (supporting realism, expressionism, symbolism, aestheticism etc) due to one man/woman’s individual philosophy, this world faces a CHAOTIC surge of creativity. 

Oceans of talent now viewed as drops. In a word, SUPPRESSION. 
In my country, because of the outburst of mainstream culture throughout the world, art; let alone our culture at large faces this. 

Ugandan-contemporary art is my way of tackling this suppression and pushing forward our country’s art / culture through my own imaginative skill.
